Person Analysis

All that, even over 10 or 20 years, is still less than a single battery. And the battery is an unexpected one time cost when the stuff you mentioned is mostly expected. I base my ICE maintenance and repair cost expectations off Audi, BMW and Mercedes, why would I look at Hyundai or VW for EV repair...

Why if I already need to know Docker for work, but not the others I've used Kunernetes but not Ansible lol

389k miles isn’t really a lot, but at least it’s better than 200k I guess.

It’s specific engines and they haven’t built those engines in a long time. In reality the eventual EV battery replacement cost is several times that of the head gasket job anyway.

This entire comic is weird, it’s like it exists to cap read really basic opinions that its readers already hold. This isn’t even the first ICE vs EV comic they’ve done recently.

How they gonna put a boxer engine in an EV though?

True, Docker does it better because any executables also have redundant copies. Running two different node applications on bare metal, they can still disagree about the node version, etc. The actual old-school bloat-free way to do it is shared libraries of course. And that shit sucks.

Main benefit of Docker for home is Docker compose IMO. Makes it so easy to reuse your configuration

Both your examples actually include their own bloat to accomplish the same thing that Docker would. They both bundle the libraries they depend on as part of the build

How much do you currently pay and how much do you think these commie block apartments would cost? Because where I’m from, a 1br commie block apartment is as much as if not more than a modern studio apartment. The lack of AC and poor ventilation really show in the summer too. Apartment blocks are n...

Yeah, there aren’t really any Estonians moving to Lasnamäe. Some live there because it’s cheap, but you’re going to have to speak Russian to talk to your neighbours. Of course if you do, you can get drugs fairly easily, which is a plus. It’s not actually unsafe or super criminal though, it’s just v...

Tanks are pretty small, even European fire engines are bigger. What’s fucked up is that tanks get better frontal visibility than American pick up trucks lol

For the property investor class. I assure you, the average homeowner isn’t happy about the idea of increased property tax, nor having to spend more if the want to upgrade to a bigger home. Of course if you’ve got a mortgage and property prices go up, you can leverage that into and easier upgrade be...

Commie urban planning with modern blocks, exactly my ideal too Though for density the blocks being close together is beneficial. Oh and I’d like to see more ground floors of residential buildings used for services. Have a dentist in your building, small grocery store in the next one and a restaura...

Lol you and I are probably part of those top 5. There's a reason those companies are measured by "Assets Under Management". It's not their own assets.

Well the whole "had enough of this hatred" text he sent to his mtf transitioning girlfriend for one?

I think the Reek treatment is appropriate if you’ve seen GoT.

I was talking about modern usage of the word in Estonian, where it has less to do with the original magical forces and more about determination, fortitude and drive. Interestingly, Estonian resources don’t mention the little folk. There is of course mentions of the word going back to Uralic roots a...

Apparently the plane's name is Wing of Zion. A tad on the nose, eh?

Ah crap, here in Estonia our biggest problem is lack of availability, haven't heard the P-word being an issue. I'd consider it acceptable grounds for murder if someone touches a child in kindergarten. Hope you guys get your stuff in order.

Maybe it's not a thing in the US, but where I live you can also buy apartments, you don't have to rent them. No garden plant selection and front door color police if you live in an apartment. I mean we also don't have HOAs, it'd be ridiculous. But if you have enough money you could buy an apartment ...

So I don't know about the little folk, but vägi does indeed mean some kind of unquantifiable strength, force, power. As an adjective (vägev), it's closest to "awesome", "mighty", "great". Yes, magical power is also vägi, but then outside of folklore and mythology, I'd dare say its meaning could be c...

Yeah, I disagree with Obama on a whole lot of things, but the man has natural charm. If I had to have a beer with any of the US presidents and I could choose which one, it'd be Obama. Now if you expanded that to include people who ran for president, but got fucked in the primaries, it'd be Bernie of...

That could've been iTunes if their interface didn't suck ass and if they didn't go for the subscription-only model in Apple Music. I swear for years it was THE place to buy music. I mean I never did, I didn't have access to a card with online payments enabled as a teen, so I just pirated everything...

Wait, I thought old people were one of the few groups who at least get something? Namely, Medicare?
